It is not more likely, most women have them and don’t know about them. Every time you ovualte but do not have a menstral cycle you get a cyst. These cysts are not harmful and usually don’t cause people any problems. If you have a multitude of cysts though this can cause a problem. It is call polycystic ovarian syndrome. It can cause hormone problems and give you a hard time if you want to get pregnant. Hope this answered your question.
